I’ve got that feeling that this quarter is going to hurt us later tonight!!! FFS!

We really needed to snap the rubber band. Now we risk releasing it and having it whack back on our hand 

 

Exactly what happened the last two times. We need to start making the most of it or we are cooked

    This is what inexperience looks like.

    Can't fault the endeavour, but polish lacking. Hopefully they settle a bit in the second half.

     

    This reminds me of the port game, just hope the end result is different.

    Just need some poise in front of goal.

    Should have put them away that quarter.   Unbelievable amount of wasted opportunities.

    Absolutely. Spent a whole qtr keeping them in the game. Can't afford missed opportunities like that. Gotta make sure we come out in the third with the same intensity, but with smarter forward 50 decisions/general accuracy.

    There's no doubt we're in total control over the entire ground but it's simple: wasted opportunities, wasted opportunities, wasted opportunities.

    Agree. We've got all the ball. We just need to breathe when we get in the 50. So many things didn't need to be rushed.

    That quarter was bad Demons. We stopped looking for targets forward and started kicking long to the contest. Mental lapse. Hopefully they get their heads sorted for next quarter.

    Half time is about telling the players to keep doing the same thing again for another 60 minutes!! Just trust the system. The Goals will come! 

    That quarter was worthy of 6-8 goals!

    Far too many missed opportunities. Very very costly.

    Stop looking at stats ..look at the nuances of the game.

    This is ours....go Dees

    Shocking miss by Neale Bullen started the rot in my opinion.

    Ugh! We did everything right but kick goals. Geelong will come back we know that. 

    Our tackling is great.

    Just need to steady at the start of this 3rd term. 

    Would love to see petracca light it up this quarter

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
